We are honored to have been reivewed by a prestigious site like AppAdvice, who called Glo Bible “The most extraordinary iPad book app of the past year”.

“The most extraordinary iPad book app of the past year isn’t The Civil War Today, Ultimate Sharks or even The Monster at the End of This Book. No, while each of these titles are great, nothing compares to the Glo Bible + app, released earlier this year by Immersion Digital.

Unlike other digital Bibles that look, well, like Bibles, Glo is something new entirely.  Sure, Glo’s focus remains on offering text written thousands of year ago, which is studied by millions across the world, as it should.  However, Glo also readily accepts that most of today’s readers need more than text to get excited about a subject.  Therefore, the app also includes plenty of media features as well, such as interactive videos, photos, and the like.”

As a kid, my interest in the Bible began not in church, but in this huge, old hardbound edition my parents had sitting next to the encyclopedias. Before I could read, I was fascinated by its gory, baroque depictions of decapitated giants and its brutal imagery of the crucifixion of Christ. That was the coolest Bible I’d ever seen…until perhaps now.
